It's weaker believe it or not

Carbon towers etc from the States contain more carbon so have strength but are more brittle in a crash. Try to drill or cut it, it's hard stuff.

Fibre-Lyte's carbon has more resin in it's make up so gives a bit more in a crash = flexible. Try to drill or cut it, it's a lot easier than the Yanks/Jap stuff.
